Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 medium large sweet onion
  • 4 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • lots of fresh cracked black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 large egg (well beaten)
  • olive oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup snipped chives
  • 1 Tbsp horseradish cream
  • snipped chives

Instruction

  • Set oven to 325F (for keeping the latkes warm, if necessary)
  • Peel the onion and slice it into 1/8 inch slices with a mandoline. Then cut the slices into quarters, so you have small shreds. Roll the onions in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as you can. You may need to do this again with a fresh towel if they are very wet.
  • Put the onions into a mixing bowl and add the flour, salt, and pepper. Toss well. Add the egg and mix well with a fork until everything is well combined.
  • Coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil and heat on medium to medium high heat until hot.
  • Drop the latke mixture into the pan by the tablespoonful, and flatten out slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook for about 2 minutes per side until crisp and golden. Remove to a paper towel to drain. You can keep the latkes warm in the oven while you finish the rest of the batch.
  • Serve hot with the sour cream and a sprinkle of chives.
  • To make the sauce, mix all the ingredients together and process in a small food processor. If you like you can skip this step and just stir the ingredients together.
